Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Zhou Shuwan glanced at Major Wei.

Her look didn't mean anything, but Major Wei felt inexplicably embarrassed, as if he had treated his female comrade harshly.

He touched his nose and explained for the first time: "The first two days are just the beginning, so we arranged better meals. We don't know how long it will take to return from now on, so we have to save our dry food..."

Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "That's good. It's already very rich."

Everyone could understand his arrangement, so there was no objection.

The temperature in the ice cellar gradually dropped, and the coldness seeped up from the ground. Everyone wrapped themselves tightly in air-conditioned clothing to minimize heat loss.

Zhou Shuwan sat in the corner, feeling the vibration of ice particles hitting the hull, and silently calculating the time in his mind.

Qi Mingyu sat beside her, his eyes occasionally sweeping across the top of the ice cellar, as if trying to judge when the storm outside would stop.

Major Wei occasionally stood up, walked to the entrance of the ice cellar, and looked up.

No one can predict this kind of weather, we can only wait.

After a long time, the sound of ice particles hitting the hull seemed to weaken.

Major Wei was quick to notice this and immediately stood up and said to everyone, "It looks like the storm is weakening. We need to be prepared. Once the storm stops, we must return to the ship and inspect its condition."

Everyone nodded and packed their belongings.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also stood up and stretched their stiff bodies.

The atmosphere in the ice cellar became tense, and everyone was waiting for the moment when the storm would completely stop.

Finally, the sound of ice particles colliding outside gradually disappeared, leaving only sporadic knocking sounds.

Major Wei sent someone up to check the situation.

Soon, the crew replied that the intersection of the ice cellar outlet and the hull was frozen.

This means the temperature outside is too low, but this is also expected.

Major Wei sent the crew to concentrate on breaking the ice.

"Everyone, be careful, the ice is very slippery, please be safe!" Major Wei reminded loudly.

The crew members held tools and carefully knocked on the ice. The sound of ice breaking was particularly crisp on the silent ice field.

After breaking open a passage, everyone slowly crawled out of the passage.

Major Wei was the first to climb out of the ice cellar to confirm the situation outside.

The others followed one after another, with Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu walking at the end.

The hull was covered with a thick layer of ice, and the ice particles brought by the ice particle storm had formed a solid ice shell on the surface of the hull.

Major Wei immediately ordered the crew to start breaking the ice and cleaning the hull.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also joined the ice-breaking team.

Zhou Shuwan held an ice pick and gently tapped the ice on the hull. Pieces of ice fell off, revealing the boiling point alloy plates on the surface of the hull.

The alloy plate is still as smooth as new, without any damage.

"Boiling point alloy really works!" a crew member said excitedly, with a hint of relief in his tone.

Major Wei nodded calmly and continued to clear the ice on the hull.

Qi Mingyu walked to the side of the hull and carefully inspected the key parts of the hull.

His eyes rested on a crack in the hull and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Captain Wei, there is a crack here!" Qi Mingyu shouted loudly.

Major Wei immediately walked over, squatted down and carefully examined the crack.

The cracks were not deep, but had clearly formed during an ice pellet storm.

He patted Qi Mingyu's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "It's not too bad. The crack isn't serious. We have spare repair materials and it will be fixed soon."

Several maintenance workers quickly took action, took out repair materials, and began to repair the cracks in the hull.

Zhou Shuwan walked to the bow of the boat and looked into the distance.

The ice field was still boundless and pitch black, as if it would never end.

The repair work on the hull was completed quickly, and the crew confirmed that the hull was in good condition and could continue sailing.

Major Wei gave the order to set sail, and the ice boat slowly left the ice cellar and continued to glide on the ice field.

The sound of the ship's hull rubbing against the ice surface was heard again. The residual force of the ice particle storm made the ice layer on the ice field harder and the whole thing rose by several centimeters.

Because of the poor visibility, the speed of the ice boat was reduced.

Zhou Shuwan stood in the cockpit, looking outside through the thick bulletproof glass.

There were occasional cracks and depressions in the ice, and the ship carefully navigated around these obstacles.

Qi Mingyu stood beside her, staring intently ahead.

Major Wei walked over and looked at Zhou Shuwan: "Doctor Zhou, which direction do you think we should go next?"

After being forced to rest on the ice for a day and a night, even Major Wei was not sure which direction they should go.

As soon as they set out, they encountered many dangers. If they went further out and got farther and farther away from the island and the mothership, they might face fatal danger.

Zhou Shuwan was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a determined look: "Let's keep going east. Hope Island No. 1 is also in that direction. Maybe we can go there and take a look!"

The loss of contact with Hope Island No. 1 has always been a hidden worry in everyone's heart. The two captains also wanted to send people to contact the people on Island No. 1, but due to various extreme environments, they finally gave up.

So, after Zhou Shuwan said this, Major Wei did not hesitate any longer and immediately ordered the crew to adjust the course.

But in fact, the reason why Zhou Shuwan wanted to go east was because she had explored enough. The ice in this direction was relatively flat, the sailing resistance would be smaller, and the speed would be faster.

The ice boat turned east and continued to glide across the ice field.

Although the ice storm has ended, the cold is still raging. The temperature outside the ship is frighteningly low, and the crew has to remain vigilant at all times.

The ice boat sailed eastward for about five or six hours, and the situation on the ice gradually stabilized.

Zhou Shuwan stood in the cockpit, staring intently at the ice in front of her, her fingers lightly resting on the cabin wall.

Qi Mingyu pondered and turned to look at her with a questioning look.

Zhou Shuwan shook his head and said nothing.

She just discovered that there were frozen fish under the ice here.

It should be the last batch of surviving fish when the sea water had not yet frozen. They were frozen there because the sea water temperature dropped suddenly and froze rapidly.

One by one, all frozen in the ice in an unnatural posture.

There are not many fish, only a few hundred.

Moreover, each fish weighed only about three or four pounds, not the big fish they had caught before.

There were many people in the cockpit and they were talking a lot, so she couldn't risk telling Qi Mingyu about this in case someone unintentionally heard it.

She thought about it and then winked at Qi Mingyu.

The two have been married for many years and have a deep understanding of each other.

Qi Mingyu immediately understood and suggested to Major Wei, "I just heard the sound of the ship sliding against the ice is a little different. Why don't we stop and rest for a while?"

After sailing for a while, the ship's energy consumption was too great and it was already night, so Major Wei decided to rest on the spot.
